Peter did mention that they do not have Chilasa slateri or Papilio paradoxa which are part of that mimic association. As Doherty spent a long time trying to catch his unknown butterfly in the gorge at Kapkot, I do hope Peter takes a very long handled net as the site seems inaccessible. He mentions he has seen some strange large orange butterflies in the high elevation Oak forest canopy in that area. Also he refers to the Skepticism surrounding the news that Meandrusa lachinus had been found in the Western Himalaya, which turned out to be true. Perhaps there is a large blue butterfly still in the gorge at Kapkot in the Uttarakhand at 1140 meters surviving in a mico-climate. Lets do hope so, fingers crossed.
